Chapter 82: Sneaking into the Enemy Camp

The five soldiers behind the two men were very nimble and quick, and within the time it took them to speak a few words to the shopkeeper, all fifty potted plants had been moved onto the cart.

"Master, everything has been moved." One of them bowed his head and waited for the next order.

Chen Yu looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Please put these three fish into another basin so that my servant can move them out."

"Okay, okay." There is no waiter in this store, and there are not many customers on weekdays. It is rare to meet a big customer like today, so the storekeeper can handle it all by himself.

Chen Yu and Xu Zhao left the shop. It was getting late, and the people from Mobei Country might be arriving soon. Chen Yu looked towards the second floor of the teahouse.

Deputy General Wang hid very carefully and did not show his head.

Chen Yu helped Xu Zhao sit on the cart, and he walked beside them.

Holding the still-warm silver in his hand, the display case smiled like a flower, "Sir, come back if you need anything!"

…

Deputy General Wang sat in the private room, looking at the sun outside. As it was almost noon, he stood sideways by the window to avoid exposing his body to the outside view.

At 5 p.m., Deputy General Wang's eyes never left the door of the rare goods shop. Just as Xu Zhao said, a man dressed in Yue Kingdom clothing walked into the shop. In just a moment, the man left with a wooden basin in his hand.

He was standing high up, so he could see clearly. The wooden basin contained crushed ice and red carp. There were also a few that looked like they had just left the water and were not yet dead, as their tails were trembling.

Lieutenant General Wang threw some silver change on the table, climbed out of the window, and followed the fish buyer carefully.

He followed him all the way to the border of Mobei Kingdom, until he saw the man finally walk into the military camp of Mobei Kingdom. Only then was Deputy General Wang completely convinced by Xu Zhao.

I didn't expect that Miss Xu was so smart that she even knew such a secret thing. The person who bought the fish was really from Mobei.

It was a pity that it was broad daylight and the gate of the Mobei military camp was heavily guarded, so he couldn't get in at all. He could only patiently squat not far away, waiting for the guards at the gate to take over.

He remembered that before leaving today, Xu Zhao had told him that the guards at the gate of the Mobei military camp would be replaced every two hours, that is, at the hour of You, and there would be a time gap when the replacement took place, allowing him to take advantage of this opportunity to sneak in.

The guards of the Chatur tent would leave at mealtime.

At that time, he also asked when the meal was.

After Xu Zhao recalled it, he gave an approximate time: one quarter of the You hour.

In other words, after sneaking into the enemy camp, he must immediately find the commander-in-chief's tent.

Deputy General Wang was still skeptical at first, but as what Xu Zhao said was confirmed step by step, he now believed in Xu Zhao 100% and silently waited for the arrival of the You hour.

When the You hour arrived, all the soldiers who were originally standing at the gate of the military camp left, and the new round of soldiers had not yet appeared.

Deputy General Wang ran as fast as he could in his life and followed the departing guards into the enemy camp of Mobei.

After successfully sneaking in, he did not search around aimlessly, but first knocked out a lone soldier from the Mobei Kingdom, dragged him to a deserted corner, and stripped off his clothes to put on his own.

Xu Zhao said, don't look for it blindly. Since you have bought the red carp, you have to send it over. Before sending it over, the fish must be sent to the kitchen for processing first.

The kitchen is easy to find. Wherever there is smoke, that is where the kitchen is.

As Deputy General Wang walked to the door, he saw a kitchen runner, carrying a lunch box in one hand and a plate of fish in the other, running hurriedly in one direction.

No need to think too much, that is the coach's tent.

The guards outside the tent were still there, and the kitchen errand boy greeted them first.

"The general is not in the tent now. After you put the red carp away, remember to close the cage. If the general's favorite raccoon runs away, you will be held accountable." The guard glared at him and said rudely.

The errand boy nodded and bowed in response.

Deputy General Wang had very good hearing, so he naturally heard it.

Since Chatur is not here, we can proceed according to plan 2 mentioned by Xu Zhao.

The errand runner came out of the tent quickly, but he did not take the food box he was carrying with him. It seemed that he had left it in the tent.

At 15:00 on the twelfth hour, the two guards at the door left for lunch as expected. Deputy General Wang once again marveled at Xu Zhao's brilliant calculations, as he predicted the time to the minute.

He had no idea that Xu Zhao was a human plug-in. Because she was the only one who found the content related to Shen Yu, she had read this piece of history in the history book of Mobei Kingdom no less than three times, and all the key points were memorized in her mind.

Deputy General Wang walked into the tent in a swagger. He opened the lunch box, took out a small porcelain bottle from his waist, and poured all the contents into the dishes.

This is the Ma Fei San that Xu Zhao gave him. It is colorless and tasteless.

Originally he was curious why poison wasn't used directly.

"Chatul is suspicious by nature. What if he tried the poison before taking it? Wouldn't all the previous efforts be wasted?" This sentence made Deputy General Wang realize that Xu Zhao was indeed resourceful.

After doing all this, Deputy General Wang heard the cuckoo's cry and he left quickly. As expected, Miss Xu was right again. No one could hide in this tent.

The raccoon's sense of smell is more sensitive than that of ordinary people. If there are strangers around, it will definitely have a strange reaction. If Chatur finds out, he will be more cautious.

After leaving the commander-in-chief's tent, Deputy General Wang waited in the dark, eagerly awaiting Chatur's return.

He didn't expect everything to go so smoothly.

…

After buying so many potatoes today, Xu Zhao returned to the Yue Kingdom military camp and said he would cook them himself.

When Shen Lingge heard that they were back, he volunteered to follow Xu Zhao to help.

Xu Zhao selected potatoes of good quality and checked each one. If any of them sprouted, they had to be used as seeds and must not be eaten.

She had people peel all the potatoes, cut the big ones into long strips to make French fries, and cut the small potatoes into thin strips to make spicy and sour potato shreds.

The cooks in the kitchen were no longer the same as they were ten years ago, and they didn't know Xu Zhao at all. However, with Shen Lingge leading the way, no one dared to complain, and they all did what Xu Zhao told them to do.

Xu Zhao used a lot of oil, which made people standing by feel distressed.

"You can use this oil to cook later, so there's no need to feel so sorry for it." Xu Zhao had already poured as little as possible. If he poured any less, he wouldn't be able to fry.

After the two dishes were ready, Xu Zhao put them on plates, kept a portion for the kitchen staff, and asked the kitchen staff to deliver the rest to several deputy generals. He and Shen Lingge carried the food box to Chen Yu's tent.

The amount of potatoes purchased was not enough for the entire military camp, so naturally they were given to a few people who knew about this matter as a trial. Once they were planted on a large scale, everyone would be able to eat them.
